About Cognosci

About company

Cognosci Inc. was founded in May 2000 to develop anti-inflammatory compounds for the treatment of neuroinflammatory diseases including Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's Disease, and brain bleeding events. Each of these disorders has a pharmacogenomic linkage to the apolipoprotein E (APOE) protein and patients with the APOE-ε4 allele typically suffer worse outcomes. Based on these findings, scientists from Duke University created a novel APOE-based compound that had potent anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities.
